In response to the hubbub surrounding the iPhone's unwanted tendency to transcribe your every move and remember it for years, Apple today issued a curious statement--mostly
a blanket denial of wrongdoing, though that's undermined a bit by
Apple's promising to issue a software update that'll solve the issue.
Apple claims the data logging is a crowdsourcing effort to improve
location services, and that both the excessively long memory for
location data and the problem of logging even when location services are
turned off are bugs that will be fixed. All in all, a totally Apple
response: Sometimes wrong, but never uncertain.
